The venerable makes a thief-breaking gesture with a resolute look, possessing the resolve of breaking affliction-thieves, guarding wholesome roots, cutting thieves with wisdom, keeping the dharma-body unharmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted by Li Zongyi in the freehand Chinese ink (xieyi) tradition, the brushwork is fluent and the ink tones layered from dense to pale, capturing the arhat’s spirit in a few assured strokes. The blank paper itself breathes Zen; figure and spirit are one, blending monastic solemnity with the literati’s ease.
